Morning all.
Big day today........OUR 53RD WEDDING ANNIVERSARY ^_^^_^^_^ plus a :wacko:.
Plan is (son & girlfriend are staying over)
● 0800 I will mow the lawns before the rain comes.
●go for a 2 mile walk
●1200....taxi to La Boheme (nice French restaurant). There will be 8 of us so it will put a dent in my wallet**
●everyone coming back here
I may get rat a*sed:rolleyes:
**this is my cunning plan as we will get brownie points while spending the 'kids' inheritance ^_^.

Happy anniversary to both of you, enjoy your meal :cheers: 🍾

Good morning folks,
An exciting day lies ahead ( although autocarrot originally suggested “ exiting” 😮 ) Blue bin, veg box, organised walk, trip to Decathlon to collect a new 9 speed cassette, and a detour to “ The Cat “🍺
The overnight rain has left the lavender looking lush and smelling divine.
Have a peaceful day folks 👍

@Dave7 Congrats to you and Mrs Dave. Enjoy your day.

I have bimbled as the weather is due to break down later and we might have rain by afternoon. Just took the hybrid. Stopped for a seat on a bench on the outskirts of the village I grew up in.

Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
It's supposed to be raining here right now and will stop Thursday but so far they have told lies. Dull and overcast but no rain:laugh:

My plans for the day have been put on hold. We've ordered a new Turbo Trainer to replace the Elite Novo Smart. It's coming via DX deliveries and the tracking Email says " Scanned one item onto delivery vehicle " that was in Westbury at about 02:30. There's no further update and there's no text messaging or App to track progress.
That will be my next project, setting up the new turbo, it's supposed to be silent ( apart from the drive train )
Fingers crossed 🤞that it arrives early -ish, I've got my heart set on the Pub 🍺

I had a look at it on a YouTube review yesterday. Nice piece of kit. Sadly, I detest indoor cycling but it looks good if you enjoy it.
